Sustainability is quickly shifting from a niche preference to a mainstream requirement for many consumers, so designers are taking this in stride as seen with YouTuber Li Ziqi who has created bamboo furniture from scratch.
Free from nuts, bottles or any hardware, the furniture is crafted entirely from large and small pieces of bamboo that has been carved in such a way to offer sturdy support. The artisan creates a sofa-style seating solution that places the natural building material in the spotlight to address the inherent eco and strength benefits that it can offer.
The furniture pieces by Li Ziqi help to reposition bamboo as a niche building material into a sustainable alternative to traditional timber.
